Esha Deol talks about her favourite dancers and how she admires their trademark moves.
Hema Malini: I love watching mom perform on stage. But I am particularly moved by her Bada sundar gopal number that is symbolic of Yashoda singing to the infant Krishna. Every time she performs this number on stage,I drop everything to watch it,because it reminds me of my own childhood.
Kelucharan Mohapatra: The late Kelucharan Mohapatra is the guru and face of the Odissi dance form. Though an exponent of this dance form,I have never been under his tutelage,but I have watched him perform on stage and was mesmerised by his expressions.
Jennifer Lopez: I forget everything when I watch Jennifer Lopez dance. Not only does she display amazing energy levels but she also does everything with great precision,especially landings and taking turns. Her steps are extremely graceful.
Dharmendra: Dad has got his own Yamla pagla deewana style,something which no one can touch. In fact,my dad can only dance off-beat,and its something I want to learn from him because its so difficult to dance like that! I consider it a talent.
Hrithik Roshan: When I worked with Hrithik Roshan in Na Tum Jaano Na Hum I realised that Hrithik is not only a natural dancer but also an expert at leading a girl during a duet. Thats something that very few men do.
